More Details:

Beethoven’s Triple needs three great soloists, and Andrew Litton displays his dazzling gifts as he conducts and plays piano.

A concerto is almost always written for one solo instrument with orchestra. Beethoven’s Triple Concerto is for solo violin, solo cello, and solo piano with orchestra.

Beethoven was the greatest pianist of his day, yet the piano part in his Triple Concerto makes relatively modest demands on the soloist as Beethoven wrote it for a talented (and very wealthy) student of his.

Many conductors claim Brahms’ beautiful Fourth, his final symphony, as their favorite Brahms.

Partners in life as well as the stage, Nicola Benedetti and Leonard Elschenbroich come from their home in Britain to the Orchestra Hall stage to perform this audience favorite.

These two charismatic young artists sell out halls all over the world, and this is their first Minneapolis visit as a duo.
